why do I say it was nice? well, hell really was just the Scout District camp, and in those five days when it was going on I had almost nil time of sleep, Muck and guck was everywhere (courtesy of the heavy rain), and a crappy campsite that offered little protection from it all.
to top it off, during the camp I again became the scapegoat of insult and dislike, and if it wasn't for Amir's loyalty as a friend I may well have broken down. Just because my ideas were different they considered me a fool and tended to ignore me, all my advice fell upon deaf ears and they all showed no respect.
thankfully, that was only at the begining of the camp.
After every single thing I had given advice about proved me right (for example, Seamus ignored me when I told them to raise the canvas and fix a gate, and it was only after the inspector commented on it did he finally snap out of it and followed my idea) they finally began to accept my ideas. It was a relief of my mind really, I was real tired of keeping the wall around my mind from crumbling. Actually, come to think of it, during this camp I have proven my worth over and over again (except for the hike, Jon pelted me with my desertion in the last hike two years back, but I didn't do so this time, I was only scouting ahead, I never once left my team or kept them out of earshot. then again, I suppose it wasn't good either because it showed poor teamwork) in most fields like in my physical strength, my communication skills, AND my ideas (oh this one felt soo good). I'm gonna stitch on the activity badge and leave it there as a reminder that it was THIS camp that I turned myself around and kicked ass. It's my last one too I think being form 5 and all, so I guess it all ends on a bittersweet note.
I suppose the only thing I found unsatisfying at this district camp was that almost nothing "SheZAZsle" happened (by sheZAZsle I mean incidents of the romantic, anime-akward in other words of the love-oriented kind). Sigh, being in an all guy group really does have it's setbacks, I communicated very little with anyone outside my patrol. I was really hoping something sheZAZsle would happen so I can drag myself out of sesclusion, reestablish communication capabilities with women, and ultimately get a girlfriend, but then....sigh, Nada.
oh well, I've got a year left to try and score, just hope it'll be worth it in the end.
oh yeah, that breaking free party thing is happening soon isn't it? maybe I'll try to find one then.
